Habakkuk 3:17-18 “Through the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, and I will joy in the God of my salvation.”
What is the most difficult experience you’ve weathered in your life? What event if ever has affected you emotionally? Maybe the loss of someone special to you, a child, spouse, parent, maybe a violent act done to you, maybe ignored, rejected, put down by someone you love, the consequences of a sin you committed? Now think back at your thoughts about God at that difficult time in your life. Did you pray? If you did, did you pray with anger? Did you pray with tears? Did you pray with a broken heart?
